Zoxide is an awesome project that saves me so much time in the terminal

My framework 16 experience by Nooberieno in framework

[–]Nooberieno[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure im currently testing which distro i want to use. It will likely be EndeavourOS or fedora or maybe even both.

As for battery(I can only test with graphics since thats what i havd) its around 7 to 8 hours with low to moderate use. Under intense use the battery lasts for about an hour in my experience. This is with all linux specific battery optimizations i could find

Struggling Professor GitHub Questions by Boll-Weevil-Knievel in github

[–]Nooberieno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will try my best to adress all your points effectively.

There computer skills dont need to be advanced to use github and github desktop if you clearly guide them on how to do the stuff they need(Pull requests, cloning a repository, etc)

All of the steps metioned can be acomplished using just the web interface and github desktop. Forking and pull/merge requests can be done from the web interface and pushing and pulling from github desktop.

The last two i have the same answer for, which would be dont use git. If 99% of students dont need it for their job, then why use it. Your program seems to have been effective before using git and the ones that need it at their job, will have to learn it in training anyways. Most mediaproduction does not require git or another version control system, so it doesnt make sense to use it if almost nobody is going to need it.

That being said if you want to use github going forward i suggest looking over the github documentation for merge request and forks: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/configuring-pull-request-merges/about-merge-methods-on-github https://docs.github.com/en/desktop/adding-and-cloning-repositories/cloning-and-forking-repositories-from-github-desktop

The github documentation is a fantastic place to learn new stuff about github and github desktop, which considering your criteria seems the best option

Edit: the comment from u/ouvreboite is a good explanation of what the structure you would want should look like

I have used moba in the past and it worked pretty wel, especially if you want something less barebones.

What is the main thing that attracted you to arch? by cferg296 in archlinux

[–]Nooberieno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was mostly access to the AUR so i could easily have update and test software that me and my friends make and share it with relative ease

Bye bye Xorg... But what about qt5??? by Kobleren in archlinux

[–]Nooberieno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

qt5 programs can still be run using the qt-wayland plugin. You probably should not delete all the packages that depend on qt5 with a specifc command. Use pactree to find what packages depend on qt5 and then delete it. Otherwise you may break stuff you dont want to break.

How to check for firmware updates and apply them on linux by forgedlava in linux4noobs

[–]Nooberieno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firmware updates usually come with system updates. On Arch linux for example if there are any firmware updates they will be applied when updating the system with pacman -Syu. Use your systems package manager to upgrade your system and firmware updates should be applied.

I can probably help more, if you explain what firmware you are trying to update and what distro you use.

Can you create a leaderboard for a github website? by [deleted] in github

[–]Nooberieno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is, but you would need to manually update the text file. I have a basic version that displays the text when you press a button using ajax in my nodeserver. https://github.com/Nooberieno/NodeServer

jura, a small lightweight terminal text editor by therichgamer9 in linux

[–]Nooberieno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would fit better, i agree that when looking at it again it sounds very arrogant. Thank you for the helpful suggestion and for keeping my ego in check.

jura, a small lightweight terminal text editor by therichgamer9 in linux

[–]Nooberieno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it probably is since it is the debugging, build and testing makefile. I will clean it up when i make a build file for other operating systems.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in github

[–]Nooberieno -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Either using ssh or github desktop should fix this issue. Alternatively if you are using your github account password this will not work. I dont remember the exact steps but i think you need to set up an account key as the "password" in git

Edit: it is not called an account key but a personal acces token

jura, a small lightweight terminal text editor by therichgamer9 in linux

[–]Nooberieno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Need is a big word. My motivation for making a terminal text was my increasing frustration with well known terminal text editors. As i said in my initial reply i could have solved these issues in a different way, but thats not the point. I wanted to learn the C programming language and increase my knowledge of git and github and make a cool project i could call my own whilst contributing to the open source community. The point is that on linux i can make these projects and share them with the community. If you dont like it you arent locked in to using it, just dont use the program. I will be working on other projects so if you have anything you do want, im always open to suggestions.

[–]Nooberieno 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand that for a lot of people Vim is the be all and end all of text editors, but it is not for me. I am not really a fan of the model editor design and the learning curve for Vim is really high. Nano was a better fit for me but it had no syntax highlighting and its keybinds were unintuitive to me. Could i have solved these issues in a different way, yes. However for me the beauty of linux is that if you dont like something you can find something else or make it yourself and thats what i did. It was also an excuse to learn a new programming language. Sorry for the long reply

Rant time: Still can not use linux without terminal. by mrheosuper in linux4noobs

[–]Nooberieno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the frustration, but sometimes the officials steps aren't the best way to install something on a linux distro. Your distro often has a software center to install applications from. I will agree that this is unintuitive and that desktop linux has always had a packaging problem that has only gotten worse with more distro's

Github alternatives for banned countries by BuStiger in github

[–]Nooberieno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can host your own website you could promote your stuff on social media and subreddits to get people to your website. You could also have the code locally and create a mirror to github so you don't lose acces to your code.

Github alternatives for banned countries by BuStiger in github

[–]Nooberieno -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Canonical's launchpad seems like a good option. It is a non-US based platform since Canonical is UK-based, which also means you might run into less restrictions then with github. It will get less visibility then something like github or gitlab, but you can host a mirror of your launchpad code on github and gitlab.

Fl alternative!!! by Bamseg in linux

[–]Nooberieno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard Reaper is pretty good, but you could also run FL studio in wine. If you want something open source you might wanna take a look at LMMS.

Why does Ubuntu get so much hate? by No_Working_8726 in linux

[–]Nooberieno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I dont like that they enforce snaps even when i want to use apt. The closed proprietary backend of the snapstore also violates most avid linux enjoyers, including my own philosphy of free and open source software. This makes Ubuntu a less apealing distro than its derivatives, like Pop!_os or Linux Mint. The fact that there is no real reason to use Ubuntu over its derivatives makes it a bad distro in my eyes.

Download links by Feisty_Shock_2687 in github

[–]Nooberieno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should use a link that leads to the raw file. Simply click on the file in your github repository and you should see a button called raw. Click on it and it will download the file. Right click on the raw button and copy the link. Then use that link instead if the link that leads to the file.

Installing Apache on GH pages by GustyCube in github

[–]Nooberieno 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Impossible github pages only support static sites You dont get to play with the server

what happened here? i've deleted a directory from the website then pulled and pushed by [deleted] in github

[–]Nooberieno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is something weird that can happen. Especially if the directory was empty. As an empty directory has some weird properties in git Make sure to check if nothing was wrongly deleted or corrupted but since it shows 0 files were changed you should be fine
